Okay so yeah I didn't include a dear diary because I don't want to feel lonely. Today was really tiring mostly because I was preparing for the mission next week, it's supposed to be really hard and I might not write again until after the mission.

I guess the best part of today would have been the surprise visit by some of my brothers at the 501st Task Force. They came by to pay their respects.

In the 501st we have a saying "The dead don't need your tears" Captain Floyd reminded us. It was true yet our tears couldn't be helped. Do we weep for the dead because they've moved or do we weep because they left us alone?. Probably the latter but in my case it was the first one. I was happy that she moved on to a better world, a world where she won't have to worry about me because she'd be relaxing in Heaven.

The guys wanted to take me out to the best place in the world, Burger Palace. It was our go to place to fight the sorrow and pain we'd bring back home. Burger Palace was Heaven on Earth and the prices weren't that high either. I used to go there as a child a lot when I was sad. They love me so much that they even have a burger named after me.

"One Ethan Double the cheese, fries and a coke large love" ordered Leonard James. Leonard's the only person who wasn't born American among us. His mum got divorced when he was 10 and she got a job offer in America. That's why he still has his British accent.

We had a great day at the Burger Palace, it made all my sorrows go away. Oh look at the time I have a fucking mission tomorrow. Let's hope I make it back for the next entry.........
